Using a large sample of 32,000 type 2 AGNs out to z = 0.2, we present the statistical results on the ionized gas outflows, based on the analysis of the velocity shift of narrow emission lines with respect to the systemic velocity measured from the stellar absorption lines. Considering the projection effect, the fraction of type 2 AGNs with the [O III] velocity offset, which is ~50%, is comparable to that of type 1 AGNs. The velocity dispersion of [OIII] is typically larger than that of Ha, suggesting that outflow is prevalent in type 2 AGNs. A weak correlation of the OIII luminosity with velocity shift and velocity dispersion indicates that outflow velocity is stronger for higher luminosity AGNs. Based on our 3-D biconical outflow models with simple assumptions on the velocity structure, we simulate the projected 2-D velocity and velocity dispersion maps, which are spatially integrated to reproduce the measurements of SDSS AGNs. By comparing the distribution of the measured velocity and velocity dispersion of OIII, with the model grids, we constrain the intrinsic outflow velocities. The outflow velocity ranges from a few hundreds to a thousand km/s, implying a strong feedback to ISM.

Objective: The purpose of this study to investigate the correlations among the motor function, balance, and gait velocity and the strength that could explain the variation of gait velocity of chronic stroke survivors. Design: This was a cross-sectional cohort study. Methods: Thirty hemiplegic stroke survivors hospitalized in an inpatient rehabilitation center were participated. The muscle tone of ankle plantarflexor and muscle strength of ankle dorsiflexor were measured respectively with modified Ashworth scale (MAS) and hand-held dynamometer. And the motor recovery and function with Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA), balance with Berg balance scale (BBS) and timed up and go (TUG) test were measured. Gait velocity was measured with GAITRite. The correlation among motor function, muscle tone, muscle strength, balance, and gait were analyzed. In addition, the strength of the relationship between the response (gait velocity) and the explanatory variables was analyzed. Results: The gait velocity had positive correlations with FMA, muscle strength, and BBS, and negative correlation with MAS and TUG. Regression analysis showed that TUG (𝛽=-0.829) was a major explanatory variable for gait velocity. Conclusions: Our results suggest that gait velocity had correlations with muscle strength, MAS, FMA, BBS, and TUG. The tests and measurements affecting the variation of gait velocity the greatest were TUG, followed by FMA, BBS, muscle strength, and MAS. This study shows that TUG would be a possible assessment tool to determine the variation of gait velocity in stroke rehabilitation.

In this study, seasonal variations of the dry deposition velocity and deposition flux for the sulfur dioxide were analysed. The field observation was performed during one year (from November 1, 1995 to October 31, 1996) in Chunchon basin. The turbulence data were measured by 3-dimensional sonic anemometer/thermometer, and were estimated by mean meteorological data obtained at two heights (2.5 m and 10 m) of meteorological tower. Also, the estimation methods were evaluated by comparing the turbulence data. The results showed that the estimated dry deposition velocity and turbulence parameter such as uc and sensible heat flux using mean meteorological data were relatively similar to the sonic measurements, but all showed somewhat large differences. The dry deposition velocity was large in summer and small in winter mainly due to canopy resistance (rc). The major factor which affects diurnal variation of the velocity was aerodynamic resistance (rw). The SO2 dry deposition flux was large in winter and small in summer in Chunchon.

Phase-contrast(PC) methods have been used for quantitative measurements of velocity and volume flow rate. In addition, phase contrast cine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combines the flow dependent contrast of PC MRI with the ability of cardiac cine imaging to produce images throughout the cardiac cycle. In this method, the through-plane velocity has been encoded generally. However, the accuracy of the flow data can be reduced by the effect of flow direction, finite slice thickness, resolution, pulsatile flow pattern, and so on. In this study we calculated the error caused by misalignment of tomographic plane and flow directon. To reduce this error and encode the velocity for more complex flow, we suggested 3 directional velocity encoding method.

Given high accretion rates close to the Eddington limit, narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1) are arguably the most important AGN subclass in investigating the origin of the black hole mass-galaxy stellar velocity dispersion ($M_{BH}-{\sigma}$) relation. Currently, it is highly debated whether NLS1s are offset from the local $M_{BH}-{\sigma}$ relation. The controversy mainly comes from the fact that the [OIII] line width has been used as a proxy for stellar velocity dispersion due to the difficulty of measuring stellar velocity dispersion in NLS1s. Using the SDSS spectra of a sample of 105 NLS1, we performed multi-component fitting analysis to separate stellar absorption lines from strong AGN [FeII] complex in order to directly measure stellar velocity dispersion. We will present the result of decomposition analysis and discuss whether NLS1s follow the same $M_{BH}-{\sigma}$ relation based on the direct measurements of stellar velocity dispersion.

Ultrasonic velocity method is applied to measure and correlate the strength of concrete to the velocity of the ultrasonic wave. With voids inside, mortar specimens may show the lower strength and it is intended to detect such change using the ultrasonic velocity method in this study. The amount of voids was varied and the measured data represented the condition of the mortar with voids. The test results can be used to predict the strength of concrete with voids using ultrasonic velocity method.

In a fluid velocity measurement radar, the velocity information can be extracted from Doppler spectrum estimates of the return signal. However, the Doppler frequency ranges are too low for the case of low velocity profile measurements resulting in the serious effects in the velocity measurement. Therefore, the improved method is analyzed to overcome this problem.

Ground Transportation is one of the most required field that users need positioning information Especially, more precise position can make smart traffic management possible and bring convenience to users. By advanced wireless network, cars can receive the GPS information of reference station in any tim e and any where. Thus land vehicles are possible to process precise positioning. In general, for precise positioning code and phase measurements are used. But receivers provide not only code and phase measurements but also doppler measurements and Doppler is direct measurement of velocity. In this paper, because velocity is very important information required in Ground Transportation, precise positioning for Ground Transportation is studied. For precise positioning RTK(Real-Time Kinematic) was used and double differenced doppler measurements were added, As a Result, positioning error by multipath and cycle slip was soften. However there still remained Positioning error. Thus smoothing technique using doppler measurement in position domain is used for softening positioning error.

The measurements of velocity vectors are made in the near wake(X/d=5.0) of a circular cylinder with serrated fins. Velocity of fluid which flow through fins decreases as increasing fin height and freestream velocity and decreasing fin pitch. Therefore the velocity distribution at X/d=0.0 has lower gradient with increasing freestream velocity and fin height and decreasing fin pitch. The discontinuity of the streamwise velocity gradient is observed near the fin edge and causes significant changes in V-component velocity distribution in the near wake. This change attributes to the differences in Strouhal number and entraintment flow behavior. Increased turbulent intensity around a circular cylinder due to the serrated fins and entrainment flow are important factors for the recovery of velocity defect. The widths of velocity and turbulent intensity distribution of fin tubes are wider than those of a circular cylinder. The normalized velocity and turbulent intensity distributions with a hydraulic diameter which is proposed in this paper are in closer agreement with those of a circular cylinder.

While the assessment of mean flow field is very important to characterize the hydrodynamic aspect of the flow regime in river, the conventional methodologies have required very time-consuming efforts and cost to obtain the mean flow field. The paper provides an efficient technique to quickly assess mean flow field by developing and applying spatial averaging method utilizing repeatedly surveyed acoustic Doppler current profiler(ADCP)'s cross-sectional measurements. ADCP has been widely used in measuring the detailed velocity and discharge in the last two decades. In order to validate the proposed spatial averaging method, the averaged velocity filed using the spatial averaging was compared with the bench-mark data computed by the time-averaging of the consistent fix-point ADCP measurement, which has been known as a valid but a bit inefficient way to obtain mean velocity field. The comparison showed a good agreement between two methods, which indicates that the spatial averaging method is able to be used as a surrogate way to assess the mean flow field. Bed shear stress distribution, which is a derived hydrodynamic quantity from the mean velocity field, was additionally computed by using both spatial and time-averaging methods, and they were compared each other so as to validate the spatial averaging method. This comparison also gave a good agreement. Therefore, such comparisons proved the validity of the spatial averaging to quickly assess mean flow field. The mean velocity field and its derived riverine quantities can be actively used for characterizing the flow dynamics as well as potentially applicable for validating numerical simulations.
